Wisdom of Ben Sira 39:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ “All the works of God are marvelous,
    and everything that he commands will occur at the designated time.
Let no one ask ‘What is this?’ or ‘Why is that?’
    In due time all such questions will be answered.^[a]
17 At his command the waters piled up,
    and the word of his mouth created reservoirs to encompass them.^[b]
18 When he commands, his will is done;
    no one can thwart his saving power.
